Flentje retiring as Silver Lake AD

Silver Lake announced on Wednesday Mike Flentje is retiring as the Lakers’ athletic director but will be staying on as the women’s basketball coach.

Flentje has been the Silver Lake athletic director since the 2010-11 academic year. This will be his seventh season as the women’s basketball coach.

“I feel good about the direction the programs are going, and we have a great group of coaches,” Flentje said via press release. “It’s been a real pleasure to serve as the athletic director, but it’s just time to retire from that position because of some health reasons and time commitments. I’m looking forward to still coaching the women’s basketball team and being a part of Silver Lake College.”

Flentje will remain as athletic director until a replacement is hired.
